Summers Past

Summers Past, 8 x 8commission

This is one of two small commissions I just finished. A family friend, who is mother to two boys who are now young adults, wanted to give each a painting as Christmas presents. Both commissions depict memories of the boys' favorite summer activities at their grandparents' property along Cypress Creek in Wimberley. This painting is of the older brother, Matthew. I will post Jeffrey's picture tomorrow. Click here to view a plein air study I did along the creek last June.

I began painting in 1999. Since college, I have worked as an art director in the advertising industry, in New York and now in my hometown of Austin, Texas. In the recent past I have devoted more time to developing as a fine artist, most recently in a representational, impressionistic style. The paintings on this blog are for sale unless otherwise marked. The prices shown are without framing. You may contact me at svparker@austin.rr.com .
